Department of Corrections

The Georgia Department of Corrections operates an active state-run, non-charter educational agency headquartered at 205 Jessie Hill Jr. Drive (Suite 852) in Atlanta, Georgia. Positioned within the greater Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell metropolitan region with a primary community classification of a distant town, this unique administrative system provides structured educational programming within a single operational school setting. Although the district maintains an official operating charter authorized to serve students from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade, its active programming is focused exclusively on delivering secondary education tailored to high-school-aged individuals.

During the 2024–2025 academic year, the district enrolled a total of 121 male students, all concentrated within grades 9 through 12. The student population includes 41 ninth graders, 34 tenth graders, 30 eleventh graders, and 16 twelfth graders, representing a demographic makeup of 99 Black students, 16 White students, and 6 Hispanic students. Staffing data for the district reflects zero full-time equivalent (FTE) teachers, instructional aides, or support personnel reported directly at this administrative level—a reporting structure common among state-operated correctional agencies where instructional personnel are assigned and managed through overarching state institutional framework models rather than traditional district-level reporting.
